Bart-Jaap Verbeek

Dear Trade,

Under the right of access to documents in the EU treaties, as developed in Regulation 1049/2001, I am requesting the documents 26 to 50 of the list of documents prepared under a previous request registered under GestDem 2018/4307 (https://www.asktheeu.org/en/request/indo...).
The list can be found under this link: https://www.asktheeu.org/en/request/5809...

Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

Yours faithfully,

Bart-Jaap Verbeek

Dear Mr Verbeek,
 
Thank you for your emails. As indicated in our previous exchanges in the
framework of your requests GestDem 2018/4306, 2018/4307 and 2018/4448, the
purpose of our proposal for a fair solution according to Article 6(3) of
Regulation 1049/2001 was to reduce the scope of your request to a
manageable amount of documents. In order to do so, we sent you a
preliminary list of identified documents for each of your requests and we
specified that we would not be able to deal with more than 25 documents in
each of them. You replied by identifying the documents of your main
interest.
 
Now, by introducing three new requests which taken together add up to the
same scope of your request GestDem 2018/4307 plus introducing one new
request with the same scope of your request GestDem 2018/4448 (while those
requests are still being handled), you are circumventing the objective of
the fair solution reached for the initial requests. As explained,
different steps to handle the requests have to be followed, such as the
assessment of the documents, conducting third-party consultations if
needed, drafting the reply, redacting the parts falling under one or
several exceptions of Regulation 1049/2001 and validating the reply by the
hierarchy - on top of the other functions or duties that the relevant
services are responsible for. Dealing with these new requests, in addition
to those you have already submitted on the same subject-matters, would
therefore be disproportionate and would impair other tasks of our
services, including the treatment of other applications for documents.
 
We will therefore not register your four new requests at this stage and we
will limit the assessment to the documents you identified as a priority
for requests GestDem 2018/4307 and 2018/4448.
 
Thank you in advance for your understanding.
 
Yours sincerely,

Dear Trade,

I am fairly concerned about the way of how these new requests are currently being handled. You have identified a considerable number of documents in all three original requests, which potentially have useful information on how DG Trade deals with external stakeholders. Although I have clearly stated that I principally do not agree, I have accepted your proposal to select 25 documents in each of the request with the purpose of reaching a fair solution. Now you are rejecting follow-up requests. How am I supposed to obtain all the other documents that you have identified? Submitting follow-up requests only after receiving the first batch of documents would significantly slow down the process and could even be interpreted as obstruction. I am considering to solicit for external advice on how to proceed.

Yours faithfully,

Bart-Jaap Verbeek

Dear Mr Verbeek,

Thank you for your email. As explained in our previous exchanges, your three initial applications for access to documents each concerned a very large number of documents which needed to be assessed individually. Such a detailed analysis could not be carried out within the normal time limits set out in Regulation 1049/2001. The purpose of reaching a fair solution in line with Article 6(3) of Regulation 1049/2001 was to limit the scope of your requests to a more manageable amount of documents, i.e. 25 documents per request. Immediately introducing new follow-up requests circumvented the spirit of such a fair solution.

Now that the preparation of the replies to your initial three requests, notably GestDem 2018/4306, 2018/4307 and 2018/4448, has advanced, we are in a position to register the first of your additional requests for documents on the EU-Indonesia Vision Group (continuation of your request GestDem 2018/4307) and your additional request on the Multilateral Investment Court (continuation of your request GestDem 2018/4448). You will shortly receive an acknowledgement of receipt for both of them. Please note that we will in any case first finalise the replies to your initial three requests.

Thank you for your understanding.

Yours sincerely,
